PHYSICS BREAKDOWN

Is something white because it reflects all light incident on it? Or does it reflect all light because it is white?

Physics certainly has a lot of explaining and convincing to do! 

I am associated with Physics. That is the closest that I can get in describing our relationship. It lasted for more than a decade and thank goodness that our togetherness has been harmonious, functional, comforting though challenging, and bearable. I survived. But I did not last long-er. 

I have been Physics-free for a long time now and I can say that I am missing it. I miss tinkering equations and formulas just to get to the end of a mind-boggling problem. I miss my bestfriend calculator, the thick  books, the videos, the games, the real-life applications explained! I would like to believe that since Physics has been a significant part of my growing-up years, I could not wash it off from my system ever. Whether I like it or not, will it or not, Physics will have to stay.


Today, I have gone almost a year without Physics. Oh boy, now I am even doubtful if I would still be able to solve a Physics problem. Though Physics seemed to surface once in a while as I go through life's daily grind, I haven't given it any serious thought. How I long to be back. But my mind seemed to be resistant, hesitant, and quite reluctant at going back. What if we have already become totally strangers to each other? I do not have any clue as to where we are in terms of our "relationship." As I get used to the simple life I am now living, I moved farther and farther apart from it. Physics is becoming more and more abstract and complicated. 


There had been attempts at making us talk again. But nothing worked. I initially show interest but eventually, I beg off. What will happen to me now that I have been devoid of my only marketable attribute? I am pretty sure that I am doomed.


So while taking the time to just chill on an RD, I tried reading some online sources on Physics. Consider it my re-connection scheme. For disclaimer though, I have not verified into the validity and reliability of the web sources I will be citing here.  Here are just briefs and glimpses. Feel free to click on the links for information. :)

FIELD MISSION

I  have been going 'round and about these past months. This year happens to be the time when most number of decisions have been made. I have a changed lifestyle generally due to an altered body clock. I have been deloaded but I still feel restless. I haven't been to any field trip and I am missing the outside world already. I want to go back to its tender, loving care.

Emily Bronte through Jane Eyre once denoted: We know that God is everywhere; but certainly we feel His presence most when His works are on the grandest scale spread before us...I absolutely agree!

Anawangin Cove, 2009

Being with nature draws one closer to the Creator. One becomes more grateful for being one and part of the world wide web. Life gets less complicated. Life gets more meaningful. Life is devoid of stresses and pressures.

Being with nature nurtures the tired soul. Nature refreshes. Nature heals. Nature cleanses the heart of unwanted anxieties and baggage. The fresh air we breathe resuscitates the weary feeling, the buoyant force and the hydrating power of water lifts up heavy spirits.

Being with nature makes us more conscious of our thoughts. It helps us become aware of the truth - ugly or bad. It enables us to look deeper within, in effect, giving us more strength to carry on to the future.

Being with nature provides us a venue to escape without being detached from reality. It helps us soar far and wide and high without keeping our feet off the ground.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           
So when life gets too tight for comfort, break free! Take a leave. Be nursed by nature's wonders!

ALONELINESS

ALONE**

Alone i drifted away, I didn't need a guide,

Alone I walked a thousand miles.

Alone I marveled at the amazing sites,

Alone I viewed the secnes, some of which were wild.

Alone I stared at the sky so high,

Alone I sat under a tree,

Alone I ate my lunch so late!

Alone I waited for the sun to set.

Alone I explored the curves and bends,

Alone I endured being pushed till the end;

Alone I hoped and paused to pray,

to God who is oh so merciful and powerful,

for Him to help me find my way.

Alone I drifted away,

Alone I lived today.

I just hope, though,

that I won't be alone when I die someday...
